To The Moon

On July 16, 1969, Apollo 11 blasted off from Cape Canaveral, Florida. Four days later on July 20th came the famous first words from the surface of the moon: "HOUSTON, TRANQUILITY BASE HERE. THE EAGLE HAS LANDED."

In this hour, we'll look back on the Apollo missions, and speak with a space historian and two Apollo astronauts. We'll also talk about the future of space flight, and an alternative approach to future US rocket launches.
